I’m working my way through the last couple Best Picture Oscar winners I’ve never seen, and for the most part the assignment has been the opposite of saving the best for last. Terms of Endearment is a welcome exception; this is a beautiful, funny, heartbreaking movie. It’s…

Cheating is an unforgivable wrong. This movie treats it like it's a silly mistake. Cheating just because you know you're partner is cheating doesn't make you any better of a person than them. Only characters I feel sorry for are the kids and Danny DeVito.
kalina is "meh" onTerms of Endearmenti thought this was boring 😔
LivinginaHC likedTerms of EndearmentIt was very powerful and very emotional, although Emma's double standards were a bit off-putting? I wish she had come clean about HER affair, too. I also wish Emma and Aurora had a proper conversation before she passed. A real, proper heart-to-heart.

Best Picture Oscar winner 1984 (56th Academy Awards) My Rating: 10/10 Nominated for 11 Oscar’s and won 5. One of my favorite films of all time. EVERY actor in this is great. It’s a perfect movie.
Kward0610 lovedTerms of EndearmentA beautiful and emotional film about a mother and daughter relationship. Great performances and a great script. I teared up watching this and truly think this deserved best picture of 1983.
Vdalahy likedTerms of EndearmentA good movie and has a good story to it, Jack played a really good supporting character and I wished he was more involved but I feel like the movie needed more details added overall 5.7/10

This one PULLLED on my heartstrings, but it kept me wanting more because I loved every single character! This was smartly scripted and acted, and Shirley MacLaine was perfect.
Michael likedTerms of EndearmentVery beautiful and heartbreaking film that expertly balances comedy and drama. The characters in this film all feel like real people, in the real and unforgiving world. 8/10
Shelhu971 likedTerms of EndearmentOne of my all time favorites! Even though it makes me sob I could watch it over and over and over for it’s humor!

The dual-track plot, with constant cutting between mother and daughter, seems less an attempt to establish meaningful parallels between the two stories than the nervous twitches of a compulsive channel changer.

This is a wonderful film. There isn't a thing that I would change.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
There's not enough substance to support the sentiment of this longish comedy-drama.
